I'm thinking about mating a peltier with my Asetek Antarctica block. Could someone give me some advice on a good peltier for the Antarctica? Thanks.
 
Thanks for your help. By the way, here is a run-down of my system. My biggest concern is adversly raising the temps on the other two chips, NB & GPU. Any advice here?

Antec 1080AMG case w/ 480W TruePower PSU
Five 36CFM 80mm case fans (2-rear, 2-front, 1-side panel)
IC7 mobo
OCZ PC4200EL 2x256mb
Asetek Waterchill KT12A-L30
eVGA GeforceFX 5900 Ultra at 516/943 Mhz (7314 3DMark03)
2.8C P4 @ 3.49Ghz
FSB 249Mhz
Idle CPU temp at 26C system temp: 37C
Full Load CPU temp at 26C system temp: 41C (warm day today)
Currently watercooling all three chips (CPU/NB/VGA) in that order.
Idle GPU temp at 26C: 41C
Not sure what NB temp is.
 
that block is not designed for peltier, it would cool worse than one of the older blocks. I woudl not use that specific block with a peltier, you need a block designed for peltier usage.
